Scholarship Application

In addition to financial aid, hundreds of St. Edward Scholarships open doors for future Edsmen!

Class of 2031 families must submit the Scholarship Application and the FACTS Financial Aid Application by November 13, 2026. Personalized tuition estimates, including financial aid or scholarship awards, will be mailed in December.

Families applying ONLY for a Legacy Scholarship or Music Scholarship are not required to complete the FACTS Financial Aid Application.

Merit Scholarships are awarded automatically based on HSPT scores in the 90th percentile or higher; they do not require a Scholarship Application or FACTS Financial Aid Application.
